kitbag Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi guys. My mum was shutting the girls into the Eglu run earlier this evening, when she came running up the graden saying that Hilda had gone. We searched for ages but she is nowhere to be seen. We even had the neighbours looking! We concluded that she must have been taken by a fox, although there were no signs of any panic or a struggle, nor any feathers on the ground. Anyway, fingers crossed we will find her safe and well roosted somewhere stupid in the morning, although i'm not going to hold my breath. Do you think a fox would have got to her by now?? Thanks, Megan xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hopefully she is roosting somewhere overnight and will come back tomorrow looking for her breakfast Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Kate Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 fingers crossed for Hilda - don't forget there are lots of stories of hens disappearing and then turning up in the morning looking all cross and hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I wouldn't give up hope yet . Anyone remember the post about a chicken being scared off by a fox and locked in the shed for 10 days? Hope Hilda's as lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
